      I don’t get it. Is this some personal vendetta the dev has? Have they really been in this many internet arguments? Where did this list come about and why?

        They posted an explanation in the tesseract community, but it boils down to they want the fediverse to succeed and replace reddit, but there is a contingent of toxic users that they feel is hindering that goal so they precompiled a list for new instance admins.

        It’s fully optional and can easily be disabled in the UI

      Tesseract dev: “I made a list of people who willfully misconstrue things to create drama and play the victim”.

      people on that list: “OHH WOW SO I’M A VIOLENT EXTREMIST NOW???”

    It took me way too long to figure out that this isnt about the band TesseracT and I was very confused, but now relieved.

            I never watched more than a few episodes of Frasier, but I remember a commercial for an episode of it - one I unsuccessfully tried to find online just now. I shall paraphrase:

            Niles(?): “What perfume is that?”

            Unknown woman: “It’s ‘Obsession.’”

            Niles: “No, it’s not, I was just curious, really.”

            I hope you have enjoyed this flawed reenactment.

        I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.

        I am so disappointed.

        But I’m hopeful.

        Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.

        Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.

        Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.

        People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.

        People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.

        There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.

    Love how people turned fact of being banned in an achievement. For some reason this doesn’t happen for communities.

    Yeah, how do I get on that list? Seems like the hot list right now.

    Is there like, a website, or a form? Do I need to fail an IQ test? You know, like cops can’t score greater than 80 on an IQ test.

      The dev included an optional toggle to enable “toxic mode” which basically gives you posts and comments from all users and instances. A lot of folks on the “toxic” instances are choosing to interpret this as an attack.

      The irony is that throwing tantrums is how they ended up on the “toxic” list in the first place.

    Ooh tesseract, so I get to tell Murph I’m sorry? Push out some books to give a coordinate?
